Memória e poesia

Why is it important to know?

Does it matter to know who you are? 
Who continues to live in anonymity? 
Don't you want to know why? 
You know what, I don't want to know.

Today is just another normal day 
Different from the others I've experienced 
But today, in particular, is just another day 
That in its normality teaches me how to live.

Normal days passing by 
In exhausting frustration 
Waiting for a solution to come 
What only waits never comes.

Does it matter if I will win in life? 
Far from success, I follow my path 
Life silenced by lack of opportunity 
Today is just another ordinary day, what does it matter?

Does it matter to know where destiny is taking me? 
The choices I made and make, where do they take me? 
What future am I building?

Today I walk aimlessly 
Far from the solution, I remain 
On any given day, I find myself lost.
